Emily Ratajkowski stepped out in style after calling out a man who told her to “cover up.”
The Gone Girl actress, 33, was spotted enjoying a leisurely walk with her dog Colombo in New York City on Wednesday.
Emily put on a head-turning display, wearing a fitted taupe dress that accentuated her fit physique. She completed her outfit with chunky black trainers, edgy sunglasses, and a classic purse.
Her hair was styled down, sleek and straight with a center part. Emily seemed to be in a relaxed mood, stopping momentarily as her dog followed its nose.

This outing comes after Emily hit back at a man who yelled at her to “cover up” during a stroll in New York City.
The model and actress took to social media to share a short video of herself walking down the street. At the beginning of the eight-second clip, a man could be heard telling her to “cover up.”
Interestingly, Emily was wearing a grey tank top on the outing. The clip then ends with the song “365” by Charli XCX, with the lyrics “Who the f*** are you? I’m a brat when I’m bumpin’ that. Now I wanna hear my track, are you bumpin’ that?”

Emily captioned the video: “Wait for it: man tells me to put on a shirt.” She also made light of the recent “demure” online trend popularized by TikTok star Jools Lebron.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Emily confessed that she is choosing to “decentralize” men, insisting that she no longer finds the idea of a whirlwind romance interesting.
Among the reasons for this decision, Emily described the unfair balance of emotional labor she has been juggling in her former relationship.
Julia Fox recently revealed she has opted out of sex with men altogether, saying she has been celibate for more than two years to avoid them.
According to online videos, the cleanse is partially motivated by women’s disillusionment with online dating apps such as Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble, with one study revealing 90% of Gen Z are dissatisfied with the apps.
Among other celebrities to have sworn off dating men are Kate Hudson, Britney Spears, and Drew Barrymore.
According to sex therapist Dr. Katherine Hertlein, individuals may go celibate for a variety of reasons.
She told FEMAIL: “The choice to be celibate is often closely tied to religious beliefs and practices, but this is not always the case. There is evidence that younger people are having sex with fewer partners.
“In 2021, a UCLA survey showed 38% of respondents aged 18-30 reported no sexual partners in the past year, up from 22% in 2011.
“Celibacy can be a healthy choice, depending on your personal reasons and circumstances. It’s important to consider your own needs, values, and well-being.
“Some find that celibacy helps them focus on personal growth, career goals, or
